Strippers bare their anger at New Jersey Smoking Ban

NewJersey.com reports:

With curious office workers gawking and strip-bar standards playing in the background, several hundred people joined a group of exotic dancers in front of the State House on Thursday to rally against New Jersey's new indoor smoking ban.

About 20 of the dancers - who, to the disappointment of some in the crowd, didn't reveal anything more risqué than their midriffs - said the ban will result in lost clients.

"It's going to murder our business," said Dominique Hernandez, 24, who dances in Burlington County. "A lot of people want to get off work, have a drink and a smoke and watch some pretty girls. There's nothing wrong with that."

Apparently not, judging by the looks that Hernandez - in tight jeans and a revealing black T-shirt - received from onlookers.

"I'm just passing by on the way to the office," was the refrain from many in the crowd.

The smoking Nazis aren't into freedom of choice.
